Customers can choose between Satin Black, Gloss White, Silver, Blue and Red stripes. Offered now for the first time, wheel options include a rear-only or front and rear "wide body" packages.

Secondly, the Ford Shelby Focus ST includes a front wheel drive turbo four cylinder. This makes the Focus a driver-focused masterpiece of performance. What is more, Ford Racing suspension pieces lower the car while the wheels and tires improve grip and traction.

In addition, Shelby spec brakes with drilled rotors improve the stopping power, while new exhaust makes a true sound of the Shelby/Borla. The interior of the car has a complete Shelby branded custom interior, Shelby shifter and finished off with the unique Shelby CSM badge.
